Forever (Linked to Until the End)

Chapter 3

"New Years'?" She said, sitting next to me and watching me folding up my clothes.

"Yep!" I said, electrified. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. Eating, dancing, drinking, and more eating. Every New Years' Eve, we would go to a party but it'll be separated by kids, teens, and adults. We would have so much fun at those parties. And when it's time for the ball to drop, we would all gather together and shout to the top of our lungs the countdown....... I can see it now.

"Lucky for you guys, you can have fun and stuff but we as spirits can't do anything." Mom said, pouting and crossing her arms.

I giggled and said "But you guys are following me so why can't you guys come?"

"We just can't, but it's fine. I'm too old and dead for partying. My days are over with now."

Now this is making me sad. I wanted my parents to be alive and partying with us on New Years' like we've always did.

"Now, Miya, don't be feeling sorry for us. It wasn't your fault so don't blame yourself about anything that happen to us."

"But, Mom-"

She cut me off by shushing me. "Just finish packing, baby girl."

I nodded and continue folding. For about five minutes, it was dead silence and I thought mom left, until she spoke up.

"Your dad and I were talking last night about what happened. He said that he's coming to talk to you."

I groaned and looked at her. "I don't have anything to say to him." My anger increased as I started throwing my clothes in the suitcase instead of delicately like I was doing.

"Miya, calm down." She said, grabbing a hold of my arm. I immediately stopped and focused my attention to her. "Just talk to him. Will it make you feel better if I was in here with you?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. It's just that the fact that he betrayed me, Mom. We had this bond, but I'm starting to think that this bond that we are having is starting to fade away. I don't want that to happen." I felt a tear run down as I moved over to my other dresser.

She got up from the floor and walked over to me, giving me a hug. "No, Miya. That special bond would never fade away from you two. I wouldn't want that to happened."

We separated and I wiped the tear from my face. "Okay. I'll try and talk to him. But you have to stay in the room with me."

Mom nodded and said "Okay. He's coming in like a few minutes so."

I nodded and went back to folding. When I was done, I decided to call Matt. I haven't talked to him since yesterday when he dropped me off. I feel like a bad girlfriend for not talking to him. But then I have a very bad feeling that he's cheating on me. I went to get my phone off of my night stand and called him. After three rings, he picked up.

"Hello?" He said with a groan. It sounded like he was sleeping, which made me giggle because I loved hearing his voice over the phone when he wakes up.

"Hi, babe. I'm so so sorry for not calling you. It was a tough time for me." I said, biting my nails. I looked over at Mom and she was standing there starting at me with a hand on her hip. I noticed why so I imediately took my finger from my mouth.

 "Oh don't worry about that, baby. I completely understand what you are going through." He said.

I smiled at that. "Okay and thank you. Are you just now waking up?"

"Yeah, thank you very much." He said, laughing.

"Sorry." I chuckled. "I was wondering if maybe we can meet up somewhere later."
